Russia to start future soldier system mass purchase in 2014

Alrighty, we'll see what happens:

The Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) is planning to start mass procurement of the locally manufactured future high-tech soldier system in 2014, the country's defence minister Sergei Shoigu has announced.
Shoigu was quoted by RIA Novosti, saying: ''We have practically finished work on the Ratnik gear and will start purchases of series-produced equipment for our army next year.''
Developed as part of the soldier military equipment (BES) programme, the Ratnik infantry soldier kit comprises more than 40 components, including firearms, body armour, optic, communication and navigation devices, life support and power supply systems, as well as knee and elbow pads.
